About VoteClock

Last updated September 29, 2026

VoteClock is a free, nonpartisan election countdown. It shows how much time is left until Election Day, the voting deadlines for your state, how long your elected officials have left in office, and a countdown that newsrooms, schools and libraries can place on their own websites. One platform, four clocks.

Independent and nonpartisan

VoteClock does not support or oppose any candidate, party or ballot measure. We don't use party colors, and we show every officeholder the same way.

VoteClock is operated by VoteClock LLC. It does not accept money from candidates, campaigns, political parties or political action committees, and it does not show ads. If we accept grants or sponsorships in the future, we'll list every funder on this page.

VoteClock is not a government website and is not affiliated with any election office. Your state or local election office always has the final word.

How we check dates

• Official sources only. Every deadline comes from a state or local election office, an official election calendar, or state law. We use news reports and other websites only to find the official source, never as the source itself.
• Every date shows its source. Each deadline links to the official page it came from and shows the date we last checked it.
• No guessing. If we can't confirm a state's dates, we don't show them. Instead, we say we're still verifying and send you to that state's official election office.
• We re-check. We review dates during election season and update the "Checked" date each time we confirm one again.

Where our information comes from

• Voting deadlines: state and local election offices, official election calendars and state law.
• Election Day: federal law, 2 U.S.C. § 7, and 3 U.S.C. § 21 for presidential elections.
• Members of Congress, the President and the Vice President: the public-domain congress-legislators dataset, compiled from official congressional records and refreshed daily.
• Governors: official state websites and state constitutions.
• Finding your district from an address: the U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder.
• Election night results: when we show results, they come from a licensed provider named on the results. Until then, we link to each state's official results.

Corrections

If you think a date or detail is wrong, email [email protected] with the state and what you found. We check every report against the official source. If we were wrong, we fix it promptly and update the "Checked" date. If we can't confirm a date quickly, we hide it and point voters to the official election office until we can.
